Cloak of conscience

[edit]

(1) Under "Excavation" you refer to "carbonite" but don't you mean Calcium carbonate? ... Just make sure you got the right stuff. I think "carbonite" was the stuff they froze Han Solo in? (For other uses see Wikipedia). (2) References. From a format standpoint, they look OK. If you want to do them better and more completely, try using the Wikipedia:Citation templates. They encode more bibliographical information and are easy to use: cut and paste the template into your article between the ref tags and fill in the blanks. I don't know if anyone is going to carp about your use of the artist's site and interviews. WP:RS says "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves", so your use seems acceptable. You have a lot of pictures in the article and they seem to interfere with the text a little. You might experiment to see if there is some way to mitigate this effect. I enjoyed your article. The sculpture is definitely interesting.Tkotc (talk) 06:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help with this. Greatly appreciated. I have made the changes you suggested. Surrealist lover (talk) 17:03, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} The Cloak has global implications and I would like to see if I can get this article translated into German, Italian, French and Spanish. Can anyone advise me on the best way to go about doing this please?

Thank you. Surrealist lover (talk) 17:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We can't help much with that, because this is just enwiki help. Each language wiki have their own policies, guidelines, and ways of doing things - so mostly, you'd have to ask them.
If you want to / are able to translate it - sure, go for it; you can edit on German, Italian, French and Spanish Wikipeidas, using the same user name you use here.
If you want to ask other users on those Wikis, then I wouldn't know where to find 'em. On translation to English for enwiki we have a page, Wikipedia:Translation. The other language wikis may have similar processes.
Regarding the article, by the way - it'd be better if the pictures could be sorted out. Squashing up multiple pictures isn't a good idea, unless done in a gallery or something. For an example of how it can be made to look better, please check out Fountain of Time.  Chzz  ►  17:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: my instructions re. translation to other wikis are now archived, in User talk:Chzz/Archive_30#Translations
